1) Cool strawman but no one said EVs should be the only cars you can buy right now with today's technology and infrastructure limitations
2) I struggle to see how even a 25% reduction in range on an EV with the typical 250-300 miles of range is legitimately problematic when the vast majority of people with EVs charge at home and drive dozens of miles per day at most.
It's easy to find edge cases, so congrats on picking at low hanging fruit.

EVs only work well if you can charge at home, and you have some understanding of rage limitations - ie. when it is really cold out, plug in your car when you get home daily and set the charge percent to 100. I live in NY, and have not had any issues in the cold over the past few days getting to and from work using an Audi E tron. I would not touch an EV if I had a very long commute, or I did not have access to 240v charging on a daily basis.

Oh the irony...
At this point I'm beginning to think you all want Porsche to eliminate / seriously limit manual availability just so you can complain about how making sure my future kids and grandkids have a habitable planet is ruining your hobby. At what point do you say your hobby isn't cars anymore, replaced by b*tching on message boards?

Implications: a rational climate policy would be (1) deregulate nuclear power, (2) large prizes for all relevant technological breakthroughs, (3) a carbon tax.
Suggested reading: Fossil Future by Alex Epstein.
Suggested ignoring: anything from obviously dysfunctional institutions with strong inventives to mislead about climate change, such as governments and their propagandists.
